Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayan region with an elevation of 14,410 feet above sea level, Nathula Pass is the most popular tourist destination of Sikkim. The pass plays a key role in building a stronger border relationship between India and China being a major part of Sino-Indian Trade. During winter the place is fully covered with snow displaying a heavenly view of Nathula Pass. Sharing an international boundary with China the place comes under the protected zone of the Indian government and therefore needs a special permit from the government of Sikkim to witness the beauty of Nathula Pass.
